USN Navy C-12s

[AircraftGeek513]

So I know that Guantanamo and Bahrain have C-12s and Sigonella and Naples fly C-26s and there is a C-37A in Hawaii. Where else does the navy fly C-12s?

 

[Meyerkord]

Atsugi

Atsugi

El Centro?

El Centro?

I didn't think the Navy had any C-12 station birds INCONUS anymore.

 

[CommodoreMid]

Misawa and Kadena as well.

The Navy flies Army C-12s at USNTPS, but I'm guessing you're asking about the transport mission.

According to the 2027 budget, the TPS C-12Cs are gone now. Yes the transport ones. There are apparently 6 C-12Fs and 7 C-12Ms in the Navy.

Um, okay. According to the view out my office window and every budget document I have, Navy TPS will have 3× C-12Cs for the foreseeable future.

Huh. Not the first time I've seen odd things on documents. Last year, the USAF ones said that there would be 0 E-4Bs when they are very clearly still in service.

Not today. Iran.

 

[MGoBrew11]

Give me a break, guaranteed Iran already knows where the Navy has all its C-12s based.

Doesn’t barking sands have a station pilot gig flying small jets?

At one point C-26D - "San Antonio Sewer Pipe" - @Brett327 would be able to confirm whether these planes are still there.

Yes, there is one slick one like this and two radar birds used for range clearance. Great gig if you can get it if you're looking for an off ramp to the airlines. Lots of flight time, mostly banker's hours, live on the beach. While I was there, we had a mix of VP, HSM, HSC, VQ(T) and one E-2C guy. There are five LT billets and one post-DH LCDR billet. CO and XO also fly.

FWIW, they use these in Sig and Naples for logistics and VIP transport.
